This is one of the talks from the 2006 Beyond Belief Conference that I mentioned in an earlier post. If you are a Homo sapien you will get some goose-bumps while watching these. I hope.

Neil de Grasse Tyson explains why science, even for us non-scientists, can be a way toward fulfillment of our lives. For reasonable human beings, religion is fading as a way of making sense of all of this. I realize that in my lifetime there will be no "end of faith". But it has dimmed and will continue to do so. This is no reason to give up hope. Quite the contrary. Please enjoy.
